    Looking very similar, both of these versions certainly don't pack the graphical punch as the next-gen versions, and the sense of speed and some of the racing thrills suffer because of it. [Jan 2008, p.89]

    While a few annoying quirks threaten to get in the way, overall this is definitely more of the same.

    There's a steeper visual disparity between this and the HD-gen versions than many multiplatform games, partly because Rainbow wasn't behind the development of this version. However, if you're not interested in how modern a game looks or feels and you just want to go big now, you'll probably enjoy Untamed.

    Call me nostalgic, but even with Untamed's officially licensed music, the racing sponsors and celebrity endorsements, I'd rather play a round of Excitebike any day.

    The technical departments, the visuals and audio, bring this ship down before it even left the port.

    A weak choice for a racing game, be it offroad or not. There are numerous problems relating to the controls, track design, presentation and so forth. If you're interested in an MX or ATV title, check out the previous release, MX vs. ATV Unleashed as it's much better.

    This game just doesn't get less frustrating, it gets more. The controls are designed pretty well, but it seems as if the objects on screen are disconnected from those controls. It would have been better suited if it was called MX vs ATV: Low G racing.

So many customs and things to do, clearly the best mx game, comparing to the more recent games of the franchise it's kinda bizarre to compare, because that one had so much more content that the new ones, it's sad to know that mx games are being mediocre with the time… Expand
